The two advocated for residents during the Highway 40 redevelopment project, former councilman Tim Gallagher said.
City Council and Richmond Heights residents paid tribute to Paul Lore and Jim Thomson this week at City Hall during their final meeting as elected representatives. Lore represented District 1. He served as the force behind the fight to save residents and their homes during the Highway 40 project, said Tim Gallagher, a former councilman. At the time, he said, Lore was the only attorney on the council. "I don't know that we would have saved as many properties as we did" without Lore, he said. Gallagher described Lore's close defeat in the 1998 council race and his successful bid over now-5th District County Councilman Pat Dolan in 2000. Lore said he thinks people who can present the other side of an issue are needed. "I was never afraid to …

Outgoing District 1 Councilman Paul Lore suggested Monday that the city terminate its contract with CBS Outdoor, which manages the structure, in comments before his departure from the council. The termination will be effective July 31. The billboard "shadows The Heights (community center), shines in people's windows" he told the council. What's more, the city prohibits all other billboards. "There's just something not right about that," Lore said. "It reminds me of the discredited adage that the king is never wrong." According to the contract, the city has had the ability to place whatever it chooses on the side of the …
